Matthew reveals in his new book that in 2010 he Turned Down $14.5 Million Offer to Make Another Rom-Com Movie. McConaughey does not reveal which rom-com he rejected
This happened in 2010 after a decade of starring in rom-coms like “The Wedding Planner,” “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days,” “Failure To Launch,” “Fool’s Gold,” and “Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past”
He says that in 2010 his heart was no longer with the rom-com genre, so the “McConaissance” began in 2011 with a string of character-driven indie projects such as “Bernie,” “Killer Joe,” and “Mud.”
His career path changed with beloved movies like “Magic Mike” and “True Detective.” The actor won the Oscar for “Dallas Buyers Club,” which was quickly followed by Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar.”
McConaughey has yet to return to the genre that the paycheck "rented the houses on the beach I ran shirtless on"
